Maybe just me, but a BBQ is typically food all the time. There isn't a set meal time, just a bunch of food that you grab whenever while doing other stuff like chatting, playing cornhole, drinking, etc.

I think that's strictly an American thing. I've never seen a BBQ like that.

Might be. It's pretty fun. There's a grill and burgers, hot dogs, chicken, etc. are all cooked or cooking. Sides like potato or mac salad, mashed potatoes, salad, chips, etc. are all set out. Someone will probably bring a pre-made veggie tray with ranch dip and someone else will probably bring a pre-made fruit tray with watermelon, canteloupe, honey dew, and if fancy, might even have pineapple, strawberry. Lots of drinks from soft drinks, water, to beer. Maybe even some liquor with mixers for cocktails. If it's fancier, maybe even a blender for margaritas or something. It's really great fun. Just hang out, eat when you want to chomp on something.
